With fifth-year senior Laurin Mincy leading the way, Maryland took the penultimate step in its historic march through the Big Ten.
Mincy scored a career-high 28 points in her final regular-season home game, and the fifth-ranked Terrapins topped Indiana 83-72 on Thursday night to remain unbeaten in league play.
“It speaks volumes in terms of a consistency factor, when you talk about coming out and being ready to play,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “But Northwestern is a great team and it’s going to be their Senior Day. They’re going to be ready to play.”
The only senior on the team, Mincy made half her 14 shots from the floor and went 10-for-12 at the free throw line. She played the entire 40 minutes.
“I had a lot of family and friends and fans here, so I wanted to go with a bang,” she said.
Malina Howard and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough each scored 16 for the Terrapins (26-2, 17-0), who never trailed. Sophomore Lexie Brown added 14 points and seven assists.
